As adults, many of us still find ourselves wondering, “What do I want to be when I grow up?”
It can feel overwhelming for adults, imagine the pressure on high school and college students who are expected to make these life-shaping decisions so early.
As parents, we want to do the right thing — treat our kids like adults and support their independence — yet it’s hard when they don’t have the experience to navigate such big choices. Add in the cost of college, the pressure to land a job quickly, and the sudden shift from the structure of school to a wide-open world, and it can feel daunting for everyone involved.
Parents don’t want to become the nag:
- Did you submit the application?
- Did you follow up?
- Did you schedule the interview?
So much to manage, and so much at stake.
There is help!

Melrosian Stephanie Turner, Co-Founder of LaunchPoint Talent, is dedicated to supporting students and recent grads as they explore careers, internships, and enter the workforce. Drawing on years in corporate America—where she hired hundreds of students—Stephanie has turned her experience into a resource for young people who need guidance, clarity, and confidence.
Job hunting has changed dramatically and is more complex than ever. Having a knowledgeable partner to help navigate the process can make all the difference.
LaunchPoint Talent offers virtual and in-person services, beginning with an intake session focused on narrowing career options. Their support includes online courses, small group workshops, and one-on-one coaching — while holding students accountable every step of the way.
Stephanie has a special gift for working with introverts who may feel overwhelmed in group settings. Students practice networking and interview skills, learn how to negotiate offers, and gain confidence in seeking feedback.
If you, your student, or a recent grad feels stuck — you don’t have to figure it out alone.
